The Martial Unity

Each time he grew comfortable with negating a level of power of Sonic Singularity, he would increase the power of the domain by one percent, thereby increasing the difficulty of negating the vibrations of the technique through his yin vibrations.

Over time, hopefully, he would be able to negate the domain at full power, and that was when the yin mastery phase of the training would be completed.

The Death’s Sympathy technique could allow him to project power into his body. This was perfect for training his yin vibrations because they, too, were present in the body. Thus, he could surgically exercise them with this technique.

The yin mastery in and of itself was worthy of being labeled grade-ten.

Yet it was merely the first phase.

He had yet to create a training technique for the combination of yin and yang. After all, the technique was entirely centered around their constructive and destructive fusion. That was a training phase that was also extremely difficult in and of itself.

Based on his experiences with constructive resonance during the creation of Transverse Resonance, he knew that dealing with resonance and superposition was extremely difficult. It had taken him a long time to develop the muscle memory for the constructive superposition of sound bullets.

This time, he was attempting to master constructive resonance and superposition inside his body from two different sources.

That was far more difficult than anything he had ever done in regard to sound.

He would need to spend a lot of time developing muscle memory for both forms of resonance inside his body, and, more importantly, he would need to develop muscle memory for switching rapidly between them.

If he was a moment too late with the shift from destructive resonance to constructive resonance at the moment of impact, then the technique would be ineffective since the vibrations would have canceled each other out.

If he was too early, then the vibrations would merge into a super vibration before the moment of impact, impeding his motion with severe vibrational turbulence.

Thus, this technique inherently had an extremely high floor for precision and accuracy of timing.

Precisely the kind of technique that synergized extraordinarily well with his systems of thought. However, he would need to train to ensure that his timing of the technique activation was impeccable.

As long as he managed to complete all these difficult and tedious training phases, he would successfully complete Project Heavy Hitter.

Perhaps other Martial Artists would despair under the sheer difficulty of mastering a technique like this, but Rui grew only excited.

After all, generally, the more difficult a technique, the greater its gains. With the sheer amount of difficulty that this technique posed, he knew that he would be receiving some extraordinary fruits upon its attainment.

The immense power that this technique would give him was game-changing. As long as he was able to do that, his offense would never ever suffer a shortcoming ever again.

If anything, he would need to start worrying about his maneuvering and defense once his offense skyrocketed. He would no longer need to rely on convoluted and sub-optimal strategies just because he lacked the finishing power to put his opponents down for good.

In fact, conventional wisdom for certain battle paradigms could even be flipped on its head due to the technique being powerful enough to single-handedly overcome others.

Furthermore, he would also be taking a small but necessary step towards his pursuit of a higher Realm. The project fulfilled increasing the synergy between Art and Mind, which was a path that all Masters inevitably needed to go down once their Martial Mind was developed.

“I probably will need experience with this technique specifically.” He frowned.

The technique was highly demanding in its accuracy of timing, thus it was best to become intricately familiar with the technique through sparring experience. This was not normally a part of his training due to the fact that most of the techniques that he had developed were not that harsh in their demands for timing. Not even the Muspelheim and Niflheim domains required him to be extremely careful with timing.

All in all, he would be shocked if he managed to complete this technique within two years.

In fact, even three years did not seem like an excessive amount of time to master the technique, all things considered. Rarely, if ever, had he come up with a technique derived from an uncracked grade-ten technique and then attempted to further complicate the matter with additional burdens and requirements all to elevate the power of the technique.

If not for the fact that he was in his prime, he probably would have taken far longer than just two or three years.

He just hoped his father wouldn’t trigger the third East Panamic War within that timeframe.

He would hate if he missed out on all the action due to being cooped up in training. He doubted it, though; a few years seemed like far too little time for even his father to make all the plans and preparations needed to do something as outrageous as pushing for Kandrian supremacy across East Panama.

Ideally, his father would trigger it the moment Rui finished his training, but he doubted that Emperor Rael would have the leeway to be kind and considerate about his son’s need for real battle experience as a new Martial Master.

“Whatever, it will happen when it will happen. Nothing I can do about it.”

Or, at least, he forfeited the right to do anything about it when he made his decision to stay away from the politics of it.

“For now, I can just begin training and forget about it all.”

He immediately sat down as he began meditating, directing his senses inward as he gazed at the countless cells that comprised of his body. Clearing his mind of all thoughts, he solely focused on them as he breathed deeply, understanding the power of yin that lay deep within each quivering cell.

His training had commenced.
